Review of Catfish (2010) by Santiago P — 29 May 2011
Catfish is, in a word, fascinating. The filmmakers (and the key players) keep you guessing as to what's going on. Catfish convinces you of one reality, and later shatters it. It works on many levels - as a mystery story, a romance/intrigue tale, and as a contemporary examination of social networking sites and their relationship to the human psyche.
At various points in the narrative, you might feel unsettled, scared, or confused. But above all else, you'll be curious. Try not to watch the trailer beforehand, and you'll really be caught off guard; but even if you do, just to get a glimpse of what you're getting into before the curtains go up, the story here is strong enough to keep your interest through the quick 94 minute run-time.
The monologue at the end is perhaps one of the most interesting anecdotes I've heard. I was blown away.
